Bob -

I like SketchUp as well. I am a subscriber to FFW online – do I just need to do an author search to find your tutorials?

Watch ou – I here Mot has a super power that allows him to reach out over the internet so that mind meld thing may not be a joke! LOL

Oooo…foreshadowing…a drop in the pond of what is to come, buried in the comments of another topic…a riddle wrapped in an enigma! LOL…Bob, we can suck the knowledge from others, but we have to buy a systainer to put it in first! LOL…I have enjoyed what I have seen so far. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Thanks for your comments here and on FWW. I subscribe to FWW and the new Sketchup information there has been fantastic in helping me create plans. I would like to ask a general question here before I re-invent the wheel though…

Have you or anyone here ever seen a generic “drawer slide” component? I suppose that it seems like sacrilege to some, but I am planning a desk and credenza for my wife and I would love to be able to actually include the drawer slides in my exploded view to help her see exactly what she will be getting before I finalize the plans.

If I have to I suppose I can create the component, but since google and yahoo searches have proven fruitless I had to take a chance and ask here before I bite the bullet.

Again, your comments, advice, and expertise are greatly appreciated.

Hi Utah,

I haven’t seen any. It’s not the kind of thing you would normally see in a library of components unless the manufacturer has created them. You’ll be seeing that happen (already started with many items) with almost everything. Most manufacturers already design in 3D. It would be simple for them to make a library available.

You might try the manufacturers website….you’ll need exact dimensions anyway.

Thanks a ton, Bob. I learned something about healing after intersecting. I was fighting with that on one of my sketches and now I can just get it whipped out. Wonderful!

Bob, I am not a subscriber to brightcove and when I go to the sight, I get lost! Can you point me to where exactly I look on there for your posts? Thanks and the sketchup videos I have seen are a great help!

-- Bill

Sorry but the brightcove site no longer is live as a free site. I’ll post them on youtube sometime soon. My name on youtube is Capesup

Bob, my friend,
Please do us left coasters a favor and observe the following . . .
“Drawing” as you will note from the spelling has only one “R”
“Start” HAS an “R”
Drawing not “DRaaaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRng”
Start not “Stot”
I friggin stottid this drawerng in free dee . . .

Also, it is not o.k. to add an “R” to any word ending in an “A”. It’s AreA not areaR, ideA not ideaR. . .
this will save a lot of confusion in the areaner or understandering(er)

LOl…I’ve heard that before at times. I lived in Calif. for a short time in the 70’s and heard no end of comments. In our defense the country did begin its path to independance here on the right (as in correct) coast so all others should follow our lead.

My brother tells a funny story of while he was in the Navy. A close friend of his was from Tennessee with his own version of an accent. One day they were discussing the difficulty they were have communicating. My brother says (in his best Boston accent)

Brother: What we need is a translatah!
Friend: A whuuuut?
Brother: A translatah!
Friend: A whuuuut?
Brother: Nevahmind!
